Democracy Everywhere Rejoices
in the Nominees.
And .tinny Itepnbltean Kxpre Sat
isfaction With the Candi
date The Aldermen.
TnE Argcs Las spoken of the demo
cratic municipal ticket at the forthcoming
e'ection, and of the popular feeling with
which it is received on every hand. The
same cordial endorsement is shown the
aldermaoic and township nominees with
out exception, and it ia therefore with a
sense of pride and gratification that the
party enters upon the sprins campaign.
The aldermanic nominee in the First
ward is Martin Weinberger the well
known ice dealer. He has resided in
Rock Island since 1S68, comirs? here then
from Madison, Wis. For 10 years he
held positions of responsibility at Rock
Island Arsenal, and where his faithfulness
and industry won him the confidence of
his employers. Six years he served in the
employ of Ignatz Huber and for a year
he was in the empioy of Rib!e fc Stengel.
Mora recently he has been in the ice bus
iness, first with Oao. Lambert, ana the
past two seasons on his own account.
The same conscientious regard for duty
will characterize his service as an alder
man, and that is the reason he will be
elected.
E. L McCartney, the democratic can
didate for alderme ' in the Second ward,
is carpenter by trade, atd is very pop
ular with all who know him. He ha9
lived in Rack Island a great many years,
and ia composed of the material such as
will make an excellent alderman.
Daniel Corken. the Third ward alder
man, is a candidate for re-election. Dan
has already served four jears in the
council altogether, and his record has
been that of a careful, faithful alderman,
alwajs present at the meetings and tever
failing ia the dulies imposed upon him,
though his position on some of the most
important committees hs exacted much
of his time. Ilts wa3 bora au i raised in
Rock Island and he will be returned this
year by a larger nnjority than ever.
In the Fourth ward Albert II uesicg is
the nominee, and a more fortunate choice
could not have been ra tde. He is one of
the rising and energetic young business
men of Rock Island, being at present en
gaged in the insurance business. He was
for a number of years assistant cashier
at the People's National bank and has
always proven himself competent in tie
discbarge of every responsibility imposed
upon him.
Alexander McDonald is the Fifth ward
nominee. He is a car repairer for the C ,
R. I .& P. road.h&s livedin the ward many
years and has always taken an interest in
public matters and business. He is the
laboring man's candidate and will there
fore be elected.
The Sixth wrd nominee is Thoms.8
Donahue, the popular conductor on tLe
Rock Island road. He is oae of the roost
popular men in the wird and is highly
es'.eemed all over the city wherever he is
Known. He will be elected by a hand
some majority and make a No. 1 a!der
ru in
All. J. Larkin who was unani
mously renominated in the Seventh ward
will, of course, be elected. He has made
one of the most efficient and popular al
derman that has ever sat in the council
chamber. He has guarded well the in
terests of his constituents and his vote
and voice have been recorded on the side
f all movements looking to the city's
l.i nt interests.
THE WIDOW WINS.

Mettlt d.
The celebrated Thompson dower case
of Moline was settled yesterday by a large
portion of the 13 I or more defendants
agreeing to pay Mrs. Thompson the sum
of $2,800, provi led the complainant re-li-tt-es
them from further litigition by
giving all who contribute to the f and a
quit claim deed.
Hon. H. A. Ainsworth, on the advice
of the attorneys for the defense Messrs.
Curtis, Sweeney and Walker got the
signatures of neatly all the property
holders to the agreement, and met Attor
ney George W. Wood at the latter's of
fice, when the papers were passed, prao
tic illy bringing the celebrated case to a
termination.
The dower claim, which was repre
sented by Attorneys Wood and Lewis,
involves the title to 52 acres of land in the
First ward of Moline, which is the most
densely populated part of the city. In
1?36 Rev. James Thompson, a Methodist
preacher, preempted the tract in question,
on which most of the west part of Moline
is now located. In 1844 he conveyed the
property to one Burrows without the con
sent of his wife. Caroline Thompson, the
present complainant. Rev. Thompson
died in Moline in 1877. The land had
passed through various hands and from
time to time hsd been platted nd sold in
lot.
The terms of the settlement are that
$1,400 is to be paid the first of May,
$700 the first of July, and the remaining
$700 the first of October next, together
with the court costs.

Correspondence. Despite all the boyish
fun the republicans are having over the
fact that the democrats didn't prevent
the rain on last Wednesday night so that
their programme might be fully carried
out, the affair was one of the most inspir
ing kind ever seen in the west. The full
accounts that have been published in the
Chicago and other papers were lacking in
one thin; they made no attempt to
paint tire discomfiture of the republicans.
Perhaps it was charity, perhaps in the
hurry of writing, it was overlooked, but
in any case it was impossible to do jus
tice to tl.e subject, and therefore they re
mained hilent, just as did the man who
was tempted to swear in the most out
rageous way, but the provocation was too
overwhelming. Thty swore the neatest(
new fast ioned oaths all day long, from
the time the engine numbered 101
brought in its happy load etrly in the
morning, until the rain that gave them
comfort began to fall in the evening.
They scowled and bit their lips-and said
they wished the whole blessed party was
be-sheokd, and other sweet things like
thnt. But the party that wouldn't be
sheoled f-wept on in the ioyous, charac
teristic v ay and paid no heed to the low
ering looks and sulphurous epithets of
their dUconsolate opponents. This was
the way liVtrjthing went till the after
noon exercises at the hall tf
representative. There they sank
into solt-mn, sullen silince. What do
they con.e for? Why, they couldn't htlp
it. It was gall and wormwood to listen
to the scathing denunciation of them
selves by the eloquent orators present but
they bort; it because they were there, and
net to go would be like being
thrown into an angry, swollen river and
try to swim against the current. The
splendid marching clubs, the most rapt
urous music, the great crowds swelling in
proportif n as they passed each corner on
the way to the state house, the shouts of
joy and the happy, radiant faces who
could res st joining such a chcering.song.
ful concourse even if it brought them to
gaze upoa the open grave newly dug for
tneir interment. Democracy was in the
air. It permeated everywhere. It as
scendedto the clouds; it brought hope
and happiness and sunshine and freedom;.
In addition to listening to the bluster

Biack and Judge Hunter, of Paris, not to
speak of the calmer and not less pointed,
nor thrilling words of the others, these
sad and sorrowful defeated ones faced

composed of five robust aad stalwart
singers, whose volume of sound made the
chandeliers rattle. They were accom
panied by an organ and were elevated on
a plane with the clerk's desk . The songs
were gotten up for the occasion and tuch
songs! Nearly every phase of the polit
ical situation, both national ard
state, was given an opportunity to be
heard and that vast audience went wild.
Even some of the republicans forgot their
captivity for the moment and laughed
with the others. It was noticed that
Statesman Crawford of your district, did
not laugh. He never even smiled. Is
there any warm, human blood in that
man's veins. His bands were clasped in
front of bim and he played with his
thumbs. He is a living example of that
new pastime, tidilely winks, and yet the
people of your senatorial district thought
they were honoring themselves when they
sent him here. Or did they Or was it
a case similar to that of the girl who
married the man to get rid of him?
Truly it was a disappointment for the
riin to prevent the carrying out fully the
programme prepared, but so much had
been accomplished during the day and in
such an excellent manter that content
ment rested upon every brow. Mr. D.
P. Phelps expressed the idea that he had
seen a great number of jollifications, but
none ever equalled the one we had here.
Legislation will now get under way and
be pushed rapidly along. Some of the
members are homesick with the grip.
